The team of junior Logan Kozlik, freshman Nick Woida, sophomore Logan Roberts and senior Jake Barry won the final race of the WIAA Division 1 state swim meet last month. They paved the way for Arrowhead to finish third in the team standings, while Madison Memorial won for a fourth consecu- tive season. The Spartans totaled 319 points, while Madison West finished sec- ond with 216.5 and Arrow- head third with 194.5. Arrowhead's victory in the final event capped a rewarding grand finale for Barry. He claimed third in the 50 free (21.33), fourth in the 100 free (46.79) and joined Kozlik, sophomore Duke Bednarke and junior Corbin Grimes on the Warhawks' third-place 200 free relay unit, which was clocked at 1:26.39. "This was awesome," Barry said. "I've been com- ing here since freshman year. It's always fun to swim well here, especially when you have your team- mates with you. I did a lot better than last year. There's not much more I can ask for. It's been an awesome experience this year. "Last year was kind of awkward, considering we had four seniors essential- ly leave, with people mov- ing or not trying out at all. I kind of got thrown into a leadership position. This year, it just kind of came back to me because of that setup. It was easier to be in a leadership role." Arrowhead coach Bob Jenkyns put Barry's effort atop Arrowhead's reward- ing list of achievements. "Jake Barry has to be No. 1," Jenkyns said. "He fin- ished his career with a great meet. He was on the podium four times. I'm very proud of him. He's our only senior and our captain. Our swimmers picked him to be that, and he lived up to it." Also representing Arrow- head on the podium were Roberts, junior Allen Roller, Bednarke and fresh- man Tiger Fan, as they fin- ished fifth in the 200 med- ley relay (1:37.15). Jenkyns said the Warhawks' victory in the meet's final event provided a perfect ending to their season. "I'm very proud of our guys," he said. "They put everything they had – their hearts and souls – into the last race. "To be victorious in this level of meet, I couldn't be prouder." Pewaukee High School junior Nolan Fahey, compet- ing for the Waukesha North/Kettle Moraine/ Pewaukee co-op, displayed resilience in placing fifth in the 500 free (4:44.6) after fin- ishing sixth in the 200 free (1:43.34). "I was tad bit disappointed in my 200, but I swam my heart out," Fahey said. "In my 500, I was really sur- prised. I was kind of disap- pointed in my seed, being in the second heat, but I had Lane 4, and I thought I'd bet- ter take advantage of that. "I told myself 'If some guy's beating me, I've got to shake it and go faster and hunt that guy down.' I passed him and gave it all I had at the end." Kyle Bedalov, who com- pleted a successful first sea- son as the WNKMP co-op's coach, was impressed with Fahey. "After the 200 free, he was a little down even though he swam a lifetime best," Bedalov said. "He thought he'd finish higher on the podium. We had a little sit- down about the fact that you can't focus on the finish; you have to focus on all the small things you do: work on your turns, your starts. Those things lead you to get on the podium. "He thought and it and said, 'I'm going to go after it in the 500.' He had a really good swim there. When you swim in the second heat and you still get on the podium, that's exciting stuff. It does- n't happen at this meet very often." Bedalov liked how his entire state contingent responded. "We talked about getting here being a big deal, but scoring points here is a big- ger deal," he said. " Last year, all three relays made it, but scored zero points. This year, we scored in all three relays. The guys are under- standing that getting here is fun, but there is still work to do once you get here. We did that."

Team members are, clockwise from top left, Logan Kozlik, Jake Barry, Logan Roberts and Nicholas Woida. They won the relay in 3:09.04. WISCONSIN RAPIDS – Arrowhead High School junior Jorin Fredman won the all-around competition at the WIAA Division 1 state individ- ual gymnastics meet earlier this month. Fredman won with 38.217 points, edging runner-up Molly Benavides of the Burlington/Badger/Catholic Central/Wilmot co-op, who scored 38.034. She tied for second on vault with senior teammate Rachel Bartelson at 9.55, and Fred- man finished third on uneven bars (9.567) and fourth in floor exercise (9.467). Despite not qualifying for competition on balance beam, Fredman post- ed the highest score at state with a 9.633. Arrowhead sophomore Taryn Sherman was seventh in all-around, and Bartelson was 12th. Bartelson posted a sixth-place score of 9.417 on uneven bars. • • • Arrowhead wasn't far behind in team competition the day before, scoring 146.484 – a difference of 0.801 between the first-place Franklin co-op and Arrowhead. The Burlington/Badger/ Catholic Central/Wilmot co- op finished second. This year is just the sec- ond time since 2000 the top- three teams were separated by less than one point. "We knew it would be close," Arrowhead coach Bob Pulkowski said. "But that was eight schools (between the two co-ops) we just competed with. When you put those guys together, they're pretty hard to beat." Arrowhead won the 2009 and 2010 titles before Franklin's run of four straight. Franklin/Muskego is the first team to win four straight titles in WIAA his- tory. And the team did it while trying to replace eight seniors from last year's squad. "We made some upgrades from last week to this week because we knew how tight it was going to be," coach Katie Moore said. "Coming into the season, I had no idea that we had even an idea of a state title. It became appar- ent about a month ago that we really had the talent. "We almost started brand new this year." With the state champi- onship hanging on the line, Franklin posted a 37.368 on vault, which wound up being third behind Burlington and Arrowhead. The inquiry may have saved the hopes of a state title. "There was a tenth off, and I didn't understand how (the judges) got at it," Moore said. "So we went back and checked the scores and it was indeed just a mathemat- ical error." – Freeman Staff
